I am trying to move away from spotify but am really stuck. Ytm has opensource mobile apps that can directly use ytm and its recommendations but spotify doesn’t have any decent option, but i like the recommendations more in spotify.

Ytm is very much connected to youtube it has videos and audio mixed up, its so bad. Also it needs to enable youtube history in order to save history of songs. I only consider it bcz of mobile apps solutions.

Spotify is what i really want to use but it doesn’t have foss app. But atleast it just records music and not get connected everywhere. Only downside is that i would be using propriety app which may have more trackers.

It comes does to which one to trust spotify or Google

What do you say?

    Just bite the bullet and move to the best fit. I jumped from spotify to ytm and I lost some features that I loved, but gained others.

    Trust, though? Neither. They’re both terrible companies, but I am currently living in southeast Asia working for an American company, so it’s nice to pay $4 usd worth of local currency for a full youtube premium family membership. I know Google is spying on all the media I watch, but it’s convenient as heck to let my kid watch their YouTube channels with no ads and I get good music out of it.
